I bought some Smokey BBQ beans last night as I HATE tomato sauce but quite like BBQ. Sadly though, there is not syn value on the slimming world site. I used the online calculator but the only beans I can include as free foods are beans in tomato sauce.
I bought the chilli ones also and they are on syns online and are free but does anyone know about the smokey BBQ ones?
Thanks in advance.

Can you post the brand and actual title? Cant find anything with just "smokey BBQ beans"

I'm getting confused now!!! LOL. If the chilli beans are free, then clearly it's not worked out using the nutritional info on the can!

And no, it's not a "Mini Meal". It literally says "Heinz BBQ Beanz" and on the Heinz website it's listed in the same "flavoured" category as the chilli, curry, smokey bbq, etc...flavours.

I'm only telling you what's listed on Syns Online. The *only* item listed with "BBQ" in the title is that mini meal. And the 390g can of chilli beans came up exactly as I copied and pasted it.

I'm using the nutritional values that are on the Heinz website under each type of Beans....
The "BBQ Beanz" (not "Smokey BBQ Beanz") nutritional info when entered on the syns calculator using a Green free allowance of Baked Beans comes up as 1 syn.
When entered with no free allowance, it comes up as 8.5 syns.

As for the sweet chilli ones...
I know they're listed as "Free" on the syns online, but again, when the nutritional info is entered into the syn calculator, it comes up as 2 syns.

Yeah, so thats fine, it will always be 1 syn per 20 calories if theres no free food. On here it says 87 kcal per 100g, so 174 kcal per 200g tin - divided by 20 is 8.7, or 8.5 syns to round it off. So 1 syn on EE/Green, 8.5 on Red.

Yeah going on this info I get 2 syns too, thats for a 390g can so is consistent with the 1 syn values for the 200g cans of other flavours. I expect they've just changed the recipe or something since syns online was updated.

I wouldn't worry too much as 2 syns isnt going to break the bank, unless youre going to eat ten tins every day?

Awwww She sounds nice. Yeah, 2 syns is 40 calories so is definitely not something t worry about! Its still less than an apple and you'd have to eat over 87 of them to put a pound on
